Occupational Health Mission Statement

“To achieve excellence and leadership in the efficient delivery of a comprehensive occupational health service by protecting, maintaining and promoting the health of all employees and by fostering regulatory and policy compliance”.

Occupational Health Overview

Occupational Health examines the relationship between health and work. It looks at how work and work surroundings may affect health. It also looks at how health may affect one’s ability to do their job. The emphasis of the services provided is to:

Promote optimum health (physical, mental and social well being) of all employees in their place of work

Protect employees from possible ill effects of work related activity

The Occupational Health Service is based primarily at Cork University Hospital and Kerry General Hospital, but satellite clinics are held throughout both counties. The service is available to all HSE South (Cork/Kerry) employees, which includes staff from acute hospitals, community services and mental health services.
